lumEMIs stellar M22 XPL™
The most advanced IPL system globally
"Sometimes it's not ageing that bothers you most. It's your skin
- the redness, the pigment, the unevenness that never fully settles."
"Many pigment clients feel like they've spent years chasing temporary improvement without ever truly feeling in control of their skin."
Advanced IPL
Skin Rejuvenation
A medical-grade IPL treatment designed to support clearer, brighter and more even-looking skin. Each session is customised to your skin concerns, from pigmentation and redness to acne support and overall skin clarity.
Pigmentation
Targets visible pigmentation, sun damage and uneven skin tone using controlled light energy.
Redness
Helps reduce the appearance of redness and vascular concerns for a calmer-looking complexion.
Acne Support
May support acne-prone skin as part of a tailored clinical skin treatment plan.
Skin Clarity
Supports brighter, fresher and more refined-looking skin over a course of treatments.
What Is IPL and
How Does It Work?
IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light. Unlike traditional lasers that use a single wavelength, IPL uses broad-spectrum light designed to target multiple skin concerns simultaneously — excess pigmentation, redness and flushing, sun damage, acne-causing bacteria, uneven skin tone, and vascular irregularities.
The light energy is absorbed by pigment or blood vessels within the skin, helping gradually reduce visible discolouration while supporting clearer, brighter and more even-looking skin over time. At Shape of You Perth, IPL is commonly used as part of a broader long-term skin correction strategy rather than a quick temporary fix.
- Targeting excess pigment in the skin
- Reducing visible redness and vascular lesions
- Supporting collagen stimulation
- Improving overall skin tone and clarity
- Treating multiple skin concerns within the same treatment plan
"Advanced IPL treatment is not about simply heating the skin.
It's about controlled correction and careful treatment planning."
"Many pigment clients feel like they've spent years chasing temporary improvement without ever truly feeling in control of their skin."

Common Skin Concerns
IPL May Help Support
Pigmentation & Sun Damage
Sun spots, freckles, uneven skin tone, post-inflammatory and hormonal pigmentation. IPL may help gradually reduce visible pigmentation while supporting a brighter, more even complexion.
Redness & Rosacea
Persistent redness, flushing, reactive skin and visible vascular irregularities. IPL may support a calmer and more even-looking complexion.
Acne & Post-Acne Redness
Adult acne, inflamed breakouts, post-acne redness and congestion. IPL may support acne management and reduce lingering redness following breakouts.
Dull or Uneven Skin
Skin that no longer looks clear, bright or healthy. IPL may help support improved clarity, brighter-looking skin and a more even tone.
Melasma
A recurring pigmentation concern that can feel exhausting and confusing. Shape of You Perth approaches melasma with realistic, long-term pigment management.

Every skin concern is assessed individually. We help identify exactly what your skin needs and build a treatment plan that makes sense long-term.
Book A ConsultationLumenis Stellar M22 XPL™ uses advanced XPL technology designed to allow more refined and controlled treatment delivery compared to many traditional IPL systems.
Different filters and settings allow treatments to be customised depending on pigment depth, redness patterns, skin sensitivity, skin tone and treatment goals.
This allows for more personalised treatment planning rather than applying the same settings to every client.
At Shape of You Perth, treatment settings are adjusted carefully based on individual skin behaviour and concerns because not every skin responds the same way.
IPL tends to work best for clients experiencing uneven pigmentation, sun damage, mild to moderate redness, skin dullness, uneven tone or certain acne concerns.
Treatment suitability depends on skin type, pigment activity, current skin health, recent sun exposure, sensitivity and medical history.
This is why consultation and skin assessment are essential before treatment.
- Uneven pigmentation
- Sun damage
- Mild to moderate redness
- Skin dullness
- Uneven tone
- Acne concerns
IPL results are progressive. Some pigmentation may temporarily darken before gradually lifting and fading over time.
Redness and skin clarity improvements often develop gradually across a course of treatments. For many clients, IPL works best as part of a long-term skin correction plan rather than a once-off treatment.
Initial Response
Pigmentation may temporarily darken. Skin may feel warm or flushed. This is a normal response.
Lifting Begins
Pigmentation starts to lift and fade. Redness begins to settle. Skin clarity starts improving.
Visible Results
More even skin tone, calmer complexion and brighter skin quality. Results continue improving.
Long-Term Strategy
Trigger management and maintenance treatments support long-term skin correction.
Most clients describe IPL as warm, snappy and mildly uncomfortable in certain areas. Comfort varies depending on treatment intensity, skin sensitivity, the concern being treated and the treatment area.
Advanced systems such as Lumenis Stellar M22 are designed to allow more refined treatment delivery and improved treatment customisation compared to many traditional IPL systems, creating a more controlled and consistent experience throughout.

FAQ’S
-
IPL can significantly reduce visible pigmentation, but results depend on the type of pigmentation, triggers such as sun exposure and hormonal factors, and long-term skin management. For recurring concerns like melasma, IPL is typically used as part of a broader long-term strategy rather than a permanent one-time solution.
-
IPL — particularly with a medical-grade platform like Lumenis Stellar M22 — may help reduce visible redness and vascular irregularities associated with rosacea. Results are progressive and work best as part of a long-term skin management plan that also addresses lifestyle triggers.
-
This depends on your skin concern, severity, and goals. Most clients benefit from a course of treatments rather than a single session. Your personalised treatment plan is confirmed following your initial consultation and skin assessment.
-
IPL suitability depends on skin type, pigment activity, and the technology being used. Lumenis Stellar M22 offers advanced treatment customisation that allows for more refined settings across varying skin types. Suitability is assessed carefully during consultation — we do not treat without a thorough skin assessment first.
-
Most clients experience minimal downtime. Some pigmentation may temporarily darken following treatment before gradually lifting. Mild redness or warmth is common and typically settles within hours. Full aftercare instructions are provided at your appointment.
